Taking the On Guard Ready Stance- Chinese Swords & Swordsmanship Series #jianfa

Chinese Swords forms start with the Jian, or a Dao, out of the scabbard held in the left hand. This at attention stance is a sort of half ready posture. From this position the weapon can be brought quickly into action. In the video we look at the technique men at arms employed to quickly move from this at attention stance into a ready stance as well as the structure of the correct on guard posture.

Traditionally, basic cuts practice begins and ends with this on guard, ready stance.
